Synopsis:
When former journalist Martin Sixsmith was dismissed
from the Labour Party in disgrace, he was at a loss as to what do. That changes
when a young Irish woman approaches him about a story of her mother, Philomena,
who had her son taken away when she was a teenage inmate of a Catholic convent.
Martin arranges a magazine assignment about her search for him that eventually
leads to America. Along the way, Martin and Philomena discover as
much about each other as about her son's fate. Furthermore, both find their
fundamental beliefs challenged.
